Nagel’s Foods has been feeding Michigan fairs and festivals since 1975. We are a family-run concession company, now in our third generation, with more than 15 licensed trailers and a crew that knows how to keep a line moving. When your fair or festival books Nagel’s Foods, you get a vendor who shows up early, sets up clean, and serves thousands of people a day.
