Eli5: how do travelling carnival folk make a living?

185 views

We have a carnival coming for our town festival I always wondered how they make a living. Do they actually have a different place to be every week they set up and make money at or is it like a seasonal thing where most them have a part time job aswell?

Yes, carnivals more around from place to place on a weekly basis… they may not operate all year long, but can travel northern places in the summer and move to warmer places for fall and spring. So maybe they spend the summer running 15 carnivals around the Midwest and then do some in Tennessee and the Carolinas in the fall, and then down to Florida before hitting Georgia and Alabama in the spring on their way back north.
