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?

Depending on what “carnival” means here, they might be employees of the carnival.
If not, it’s sort of like you described. I’ll use Renaissance Faires as an example. There are a lot of big ones that happen in the same places around the same times every year. A lot of the performers and vendors I see at the one in October are also at the one in April, because they travel around between the different major places.
Same thing with a lot of the artists I know. They’re very aware of the major cons related to the kinds of people they make art for and travel frequently.
Also the internet has helped out these people a lot: many of the vendors at places I go have websites and that helps them sell things to people who maybe saw the booth and were interested but didn’t decide to buy anything until it was too late.
