What is Craft Fair Vendor Insurance?

Craft fair insurance protects your arts and crafts business while you sell goods at fairs, shows, and markets.

This essential coverage safeguards you from paying for costly third-party liability claims arising from your booth operations. In fact, most craft fairs require proof of this insurance before approving you as a vendor — think of it as the finishing touch in securing your spot at the craft fair.

With ACT Insurance, get superior coverage and meet event requirements to sell your handmade products with peace of mind.
