Mahjong is becoming one of the country’s fastest-growing social trends — inviting people to explore connection in an entirely new way.
Originating in 19th-century China, Mahjong has long been rooted in tradition, strategy and multigenerational gatherings centered around community and conversation.
Across the United States, Mahjong nights are popping up everywhere from boutique hotels to cafés and social clubs. What was once viewed as a traditional pastime has evolved into a modern lifestyle experience centered around conversation, community and creativity.
Locally, Deb Silver of The Silver Shamrocks & Fork & Fêtes is helping introduce more people to the movement through curated American Mah Jongg events at Fork & Fêtes.
Silver says, "One of my favorite things happening at Forks and Fêtes right now is the beautiful community growing around our Mah Jongg tables. What starts as a class quickly turns into laughter, new friendships, and a reason to gather again and again."
