FAIR & FESTIVAL REQUIREMENTS

What Is Fair and Festival Insurance Requirements?

Fair and festival insurance requirements usually depend on how the event handles crowd size, vendor mix, alcohol, attractions, temporary structures, public access, security, municipal permits, and venue documentation. The more moving pieces a fair or festival has, the more important it is to structure the submission around operations rather than just the event name.
