A Carnival Operations Surety Bond is a license and permit surety bond required by certain government jurisdictions of companies who operate both traveling carnival shows as well as fixed amusement locations within that jurisdiction. A carnival operation is commonly defined as an attraction, whether shows, acts, games, vending devices or amusement devices, which are set up or conducted in a public place or upon any private premises accessible to the public, with or without admission fee, which attracts public attendance. The bond typically holds the jurisdiction granting the license to operate harmless from any loss or damage arising out of operations of the carnival and guarantees that the carnival will follow all applicable rules and regulations.
