What Is Cannabis Event Insurance?
Cannabis event insurance is designed to help protect vendors from the cost of third-party accidents, like injuries or property damage, at cannabis-related events. It is a short-term vendor insurance policy that helps you meet general liability insurance requirements for venues.
If a customer gets hurt on your display or your booth scratches the venue’s floor, insurance for vendors at cannabis events can help cover the costs, so you can worry less about the “what-ifs.”
Who Is Cannabis Vendor Insurance For?
Any business selling products or setting up a booth at a cannabis-related event, such as a hemp festival, CBD expo, or convention, may need cannabis vendor insurance.
From multi-day business summits to artisans who need one-day vendor insurance to sell custom trays at a festival, covered vendors can include:
- Artisans and artists
- Business solution companies
- Craft vendors
- Ceramicists and potters
- Clothing makers
- Food vendors
- Glassblowers
- Information booths
- Jewelers
- Wholesalers and retailers
What Does Cannabis Event Insurance Cover?
Cannabis vendor insurance can cover general liability claims, including third-party injuries or damages, caused by your business at events. It can help you pay for legal fees, medical bills, or property damage repairs.
A cannabis event policy does not cover claims connected to your products. If your event requires product liability coverage, or if you sell cannabis products containing no more than 0.3% THC, our cannabis business insurance may provide the coverage you need.
How Much Does Cannabis Event Insurance Cost?
Insurance for cannabis vendors starts at $139 per event, providing affordable, event-approved coverage for festivals and shows lasting up to three days.
The cost of vendor insurance depends on the length of your event, which is why Insurance Canopy offers flexible policies for up to 90 days. Get a quote for the coverage you need for a day, a week, or an entire season.

I needed a portable policy as a yoga instructor. I found this company in an online search. Called and got details from them, was quite surprised at how affordable... Read More it would be. Then when I was ready to make my purchase, I called again. Was explained to me that everything was done online, I told the lady on the phone I didn't want to make this kind of purchase online with no guidance. She was so helpful and kind and patient! Walked me thru every page of the form and honestly didn't take long at all. Hope I never need to use the policy but nice to know I have it.

Being a vendor at a cannabis event is about being part of a community, reaching more customers, and growing your business. Get covered for your next event, or explore Insurance Canopy’s annual cannabis business insurance for protection beyond the booth.
What Kind of Insurance Do Cannabis Event Vendors Need?
Cannabis event vendors typically need general liability insurance to satisfy event requirements. Because the cannabis industry faces high risks and federal restrictions, you might need additional coverage with a CBD and hemp insurance policy if you make or sell cannabis products.
Other types of insurance cannabis event vendors may need include:
- General liability: Can help cover the cost of third-party injuries or damages caused by your business while working events, like operating a booth
- Product liability: Designed to help cover the cost of claims involving injuries, damages, or adverse reactions caused by your products
- Inland marine: Helps protect your mobile business gear from theft or damage while traveling to or selling at events
- Excess liability: Increases your limits of liability, or how much your insurance pays, when an event requires higher amounts of coverage
Insurance Canopy gives vendors and business owners access to top-shelf insurance for cannabis events, so you can meet requirements, protect your booth, and connect with customers in a growing market.
- Quick online checkout process
- Access your policy 24/7 online
- Instant proof of insurance for same-day coverage
- Free, unlimited additional insureds
- U.S.-based, licensed customer support
FAQs About Cannabis Vendor Insurance for Events
What If My Products Include CBD or Hemp?
Cannabis event insurance may not be the right policy if you sell, sample, manufacture, or distribute CBD or hemp products because it does not include product liability coverage.
If your products contain no more than 0.3% THC, you may be eligible for Insurance Canopy’s CBD and hemp insurance, which includes general and product liability coverage.
Contact us at 844.520.6693 before buying a cannabis event policy if you plan to sell CBD or hemp products.
What’s Excluded From A Cannabis Event Insurance Policy?
The cannabis event vendor insurance policy excludes the following types of business activities and events:
- Claims related to the sale, manufacture, or distribution of products containing cannabis, CBD, or hemp
- The sale or distribution of narcotics, prescription products, products made for infants or children, weapons, and ammunition
- Events at an abandoned warehouse or adult entertainment venue
- Raves or rave-like shows, political events or rallies, theater performances, and any salon or spa operations
- Directing, hosting, organizing, planning, promoting, or sponsoring of any cannabis event
This is not a complete list of exclusions. Review the online application for more details, or call us at 844.520.6693 if you have questions about whether your business or event is eligible for coverage.
Can I Add an Event Organizer or Venue as an Additional Insured?
You can add an event organizer or venue to your vendor insurance policy as an additional insured with Insurance Canopy.
Add an additional insured using their name and address when you buy your policy, or log in to your online dashboard to add them any time before the event.
Does Cannabis Event Insurance Include Product Liability Coverage?
No, cannabis event insurance does not include product liability coverage.
Businesses selling cannabis ancillary products that don’t contain CBD or THC can get product liability coverage on an annual policy. If you need product liability insurance for selling, making, or distributing cannabis products, apply for a cannabis business insurance policy with Insurance Canopy.
What’s the Difference Between Cannabis Event Insurance and Cannabis Business Insurance?
The differences between cannabis event insurance and cannabis business insurance include the coverage that’s included, who each policy covers, and how long that coverage lasts.
Cannabis event insurance is for any vendor attending a cannabis or hemp-related event who needs short-term general liability insurance. Cannabis business insurance is a specific policy for companies in the cannabis industry that provides annual coverage for their business and products.
Can I Get Cannabis Event Insurance for Just One Festival or Convention?
