Mah Jongg - Bam, Dot, Crack!

Grab your tiles and join us! Whether you’re a seasoned player or just curious to learn, MahJongg is a fun way to meet up, play, and enjoy some time together. All are welcome, but space is limited—find the available dates and details below and sign up in advance.

Sign‑ups for upcoming Mah Jongg nights will open for the next game after midnight following the previous game.

If you have your own Mah Jongg Set, please do bring it!

Upcoming Events

Click here to join our waitlist or email allana@foodsmithvail.com with your name, phone number, and requested party size.

While these events are free to attend, and most are “the more the merrier,” for some we do have to limit how many can attend (especially indoor events!)

If you see a set number of “spots left,” you need to sign up! If you do not receive a confirmation email shortly after reserving your spot, your registration did not process.

If an event is showing as full, please give us a call or send us an email to see if we can accommodate extra guests or to get on our waiting list!

Cancellation & Courtesy Policy: We know life happens! Because space is limited and materials are prepared in advance, we kindly ask that you let us know as soon as possible if your plans change and you can no longer attend. This allows us to open up your spot to someone on the waiting list. If you can’t make it, feel free to send a friend in your place!

Event Cancellations & Weather: In the rare event that we need to adjust schedule details or cancel due to severe weather/snow, we will notify all registered guests via email and phone as early as possible.
