Key legal question
Whether the association's circus performances are a lucrative itinerant activity under the federal itinerant trade regime.
Extracted holding
The performance activity is lucrative and itinerant within the meaning of the ordinance and is therefore subject to authorization.
Extracted reasoning
The troupe generated non-negligible revenues, covered touring costs, and moved its tent repeatedly within a short touring period; non-profit status and volunteer operation were not decisive. The security purpose of the statute would be undermined if only larger or longer tours were covered.
