7.2.5 Carnivals and Fiestas
Carnivals and fiestas involve significant risks and liability exposure; therefore, an approved archdiocesan contract must be used. The approved archdiocesan contract contains terms and conditions that are essential in
reducing the risks of serious injury, including provisions relating to safety certifications, training, and supervision of rides, as well as insurance and indemnity requirements. Locations should never sign a carnival/fiesta contract submitted by the vendor. See the sample
Carnival/Fiesta Event Agreement.
There is no list of archdiocesan-approved carnival companies.
