# Does General Liability Cover Events?

Sometimes, for covered third-party injury or property damage at an event included in your policy; the event details and any required endorsement must match.

A certificate alone does not add event coverage, and alcohol, venues, temporary structures, or participant activities can create separate gaps.

Give the broker the event dates, location, activities, vendors, and alcohol plans. Verify any event endorsement, insured parties, limits, and dates—including setup and teardown—against the issued policy.
