Carnivals
In 1955, Kaliff Insurance established its Carnival Division in response to numerous requests for Midway Liability and associated coverages. Since that time, we have become one of the largest insurers of carnivals in the nation. We reached our leadership position by understanding the needs of the industry and maintaining close relationships with individual customers. Our agents have the experience and expertise to create a program tailored to meet your specific insurance requirements. Kaliff Insurance is proud to be an active member of the OABA, SLA and IIAA.
What Our Clients are Saying

Active Shooter Coverage / Acts of Violence
In today’s volatile world, event organizers must be prepared for any potential threat, including active shooter attacks. It’s an unfortunate reality, but any venue where large numbers of people gather is inherently an attractive target. To help protect organizers, Kaliff now offers primary third-party liability cover for claims arising out of attacks using firearms, handheld devices, and road vehicles. High limits of coverage are available with no named insured exclusion offered. Our commitment to enhancing event safety and security goes beyond liability coverage. Kaliff also provides industry experts that will conduct a risk assessment of event locations and provide 24-hour crisis management services should an active shooter incident occur.

Event Weather Insurance
Of all the possible negative occurrences an event organizer tries to anticipate and manage, weather is the most unpredictable. The effects of severe weather can be disastrous for any event, especially outdoor fairs, festivals, and concerts. Kaliff can provide coverage for almost any detrimental weather situation, including Cumulative Rainfall (a specific amount of rain occurring over a specific time period), Rain Free or Dry Hours (rain occurring during a specific number of hours over a designated time period), and other weather vulnerabilities (lightning, hurricanes, high winds, extremes in temperature, etc.).

Power failures, 
mass transportation problems and labor disputes can also cause cancellations.
Event Cancellation Coverage
Severe weather may be the most common reason for the cancellation of a scheduled event, but there is a myriad of other factors to consider when planning your event insurance. Kaliff can provide coverage for areas such as non-appearance of an artist or performer and problematic situations with the venue resulting from fires, flooding, electrical issues or other issues. The coverage is customized to the specific requirements of each event and can even include provisions addressing civil unrest and terrorism. Event Cancellation Coverage from Kaliff is a vital tool to protect your event expenses and revenue.
Vendor Liability Coverage
Cover your business with more than a tent. Liability coverage for vendors, big and small.
Vendor Liability Coverage
From a single day to a full year, Kaliff can help keep your business protected with policies tailored to the needs of event vendors. Shield yourself from claims arising out of injury of spectators, property damage, products liability, general negligence claims and other unforeseen occurrences. Our affordable flat rate includes coverage up to $1,000,000 per occurrence with $0 deductible. Kaliff’s online application and purchase feature makes obtaining coverage quick and simple.
