Eli5: how do travelling carnival folk make a living?

187 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?

Some crews work the northern states in the summer and then work the southern states in the winter, so it can be year-round work if you’re willing to travel that far.

More local operations will be seasonal – not a lot of carnival ride demand in Chicago in February.
