Questions About Renaissance Faire Artist Insurance

What is Covered by Event Insurance for Renaissance Fairs?

Event insurance for Renaissance Fairs is designed to cover costs like medical bills, legal fees, judgments, or repairs for accidents related to your booth or business. It’s crafted to protect you from claims like:

  • Injuries from slips, falls, or tripping hazards around your booth
  • Accidental damage to rented spaces, the fairgrounds, or customer property
  • Weather-related mishaps involving unsecured parts of your display


This type of coverage doesn’t protect against product-related claims, online sales, theft, or damages outside the fair. Only the ACT Pro policy can safeguard against these types of claims.

Our policies cannot insure claims related to food products or food operations. Please see FLIP for more information about this type of coverage. This policy also does not cover performers, musicians, or entertainers. Please see Insurance Canopy for more information on this type of coverage.

Can I Attend Renaissance Fairs Without Insurance?

No, you can’t attend most Renaissance Fairs without insurance. Before you set foot in the realm of your booth, you’ll often need to present proof of insurance. Without it, you risk being vulnerable to costly claims.

Whether selling handcrafted wares, serving novelty goods, or selling enchanting spells, arming yourself with insurance safeguards you against the unexpected — be it a misplaced goblet causing damage or a patron stumbling on a medieval electrical cord.
