A traveling show is an entertainment event that moves from place to place. It typically includes a variety of performers, such as acrobats, clowns, and musicians. The two most common types of traveling shows are carnivals and circuses. Carnivals are usually composed of rides, games, and food stands, while circuses feature animal acts, clowns, and acrobats. Both carnivals and circuses have been popular forms of entertainment for centuries.
