INSURANCE
In addition to requiring insurance for food vendors (coffee, tea, baked goods, prepared foods, etc.), in order to ensure a safe and responsible environment at our market, all vendors  of soap,   apothecary and cosmetic items as well as  henna artists  will be required as well to have   Liability Insurance   beginning with the 2018 Summer Markets.

This includes but is not limited to any skincare/haircare/bodycare/animal care items such as Animal Shampoo,   Essential Oils,   Body Lotions,   Apothecary/Cosmetics,   Soap,   Lip Balm,   Bath Salts, Body Balms, Face scrubs,   Hair Care Products, etc.* If you're not sure, please contact us at   [email protected].

*Please also note that the Flea does not allow CBD   products at the Flea.

 Before your first market, you   will need to  provide a   Certificate of Insurance (COI) from your insurance agent naming the Providence Flea as  an "Additional Insured," similar to  our requirement of food vendors.   The  info for the COI is

Although we have never had an incident with any of our vendors' products, we have decided that customer safety must be first above all else, even though it  may create a financial burden  for some vendors. The risk to you as one of these vendors, however, is also great, and we strongly recommend   protecting your business and your personal assets with coverage.   

Although we do not recommend or endorse any of the companies or organizations listed below, we do suggest you check them out and do your own research as well.  And make sure that  Certificates of Insurance are provided at no additional cost to cover you at  any market or show at which you vend.
