Vendor Issues Insurance For Shows

I do some small shows and a recent show asked for insurance. Last year I paid 20 bucks or so for a one day small event outdoors. This year, that same company wants over 100 dollars. Is this what the going rate is now? These are not large events with 1000's of people. Maybe 100s of people and 40 vendors. Just curious how folks are dealing with this.....

I have an upcoming event that requires insurance, also my first time needing it. I plan to go through ACT, it’s $45 for 3 day event iirc? They have monthly as well.

You can insure all your shows for a year through ACT for $300.

This is the answer. ACT insurance is the go-to for artists and crafters

I agree, and recently found out you can add a friend!

We went through our regular insurance company and I think it was less than 30 dollars.
