[OMS_MANAGERS] Event Insurance

[Katherine Hayes]

Hello all!

Every August, the Coos Bay Downtown Association hosts the Blackberry Arts
Festival which features local, Oregon foods and crafts. Until now, the CBDA
has required that each vendor purchase and submit their own insurance.
However, we heard from some of our smaller vendors that they are unable to
participate in the festival because of the cost of the insurance. We have
been looking at the idea of CBDA purchasing and holding the general
liability insurance that would cover all of the vendors. We would then raise
the vendor fee slightly to cover our cost. Does anyone currently purchase
event insurance for their festivals or farmers' markets? Has it been
successful? Have you seen growth in your event?

 

Any insight is appreciated! Thanks!

Katherine
