What to expect
Mahj Fest is not a tournament.
There are no rankings, brackets, or elimination rounds.
Instead, Mahj Fest is designed around connection, casual play, learning, shopping, and shared experiences with fellow Mahjong enthusiasts.
Whether you're attending with friends or arriving solo, you'll find opportunities to meet new people, discover new strategies, explore vendors, and enjoy the game in a welcoming and relaxed environment.
Our Vision
To build a community centered destination Mahjong experience that inspires connection, lifelong learning, and memorable shared experiences both at the table and beyond.
Launching in Asheville, North Carolina in Spring 2027, Mahj Fest is envisioned as an annual flagship gathering and the foundation for future Mahj Fest experiences in select destinations across the country.
