If you are an Antique & Flea Market, Fiber Arts, Food, Juried Crafts, Local Business, Non-Profit, or Ticketed Ride Vendor, proof of liability insurance is required. As soon as your Vendor application is approved, please contact your insurance provider to request a Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) showing proof of coverage for our event. Kindly provide the following information to your insurance agent in advance to ensure the correct and timely issuance of your COI.
Your Certificate of Insurance (COI) must:
- be issued by an A- rated insurance company or better (as rated by A.M. Best & Co.)
- name the Bluemont Citizens Association, also known as the Bluemont Fair, as both the “Additional Insured” and “Certificate Holder,” with the following address:
Bluemont Citizens Association
PO Box 362
Bluemont, VA 20135 - be an Occurrence policy (Claims Made policies or certificates will NOT be accepted)
- show liability coverage of at least One Million U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000) for any single occurrence
- show liability coverage on a primary and non-contributory basis, and subrogation must be waived in favor of the Bluemont Citizens Association (also known as the Bluemont Fair)
Email your COI to your Bluemont Fair Vendor Approval contact, or send it to the above PO Box.
If You Don’t Have Existing Coverage
Non-Food Vendors
As a courtesy to our vendors and exhibitors, we have partnered with ACT Insurance to offer a $44 policy that covers the duration of the fair. Through this partnership, we’ve secured a discount on non-food liability coverage from Artist Crafters & Tradesmen (ACT) Insurance, ensuring you are covered for the entire event. Bluemont Citizens Association (Bluemont Fair) is not receiving any commission or reimbursements for informing you about this coverage. You are welcome to obtain coverage from any insurance provider.
