Festivals are a popular way for communities to bring people together to celebrate their local area, common interests and various cultures. With large crowds gathering to celebrate, festival organizers and vendors need to utilize risk management to create a safe environment for attendees. A few risk management steps include:
- Assess the festival site to be sure it is safe and suitable for the activities and number of attendees
- Obtain necessary licenses and permits
- Provide food and alcohol safety training for staff and volunteers
- Obtain certificates of insurance from participating vendors
- Secure a USLI Special Event insurance policy
USLI can consider many types of festivals and exposures, including:
- Arts and crafts festivals
- Beer/Wine/Food festivals
- City celebrations including parades
- Cultural celebrations
- Holiday festivals
- Themed festivals such as car shows, citrus festivals, cherry blossom festivals, etc.
- Festivals with incidental fireworks, inflatables and mechanical rides
- Festival vendors
