The Paint Riot

The Paint Riot Welcome to The Paint Riot — Cambridge’s most chaotic creative escape! Glow-in-the-dark splatter parties, guided paint nights and a whole lot of mess!

09/04/2026

It is official! The Quiet Riot Craft Cafe is now a permanent feature at The Paint Riot in Cambridge, Ontario!

EVERY Tuesday from 5:30- 9 p.m., come on in and craft to your heart's content.

We have a packed craft menu for you to pick through and try new crafts or make old favourites.

Perfect for a night out, date night, girls night, a random Tuesday and especially for those of you who have wanted to try something new but really don't want to buy $900 worth of supplies only to leave them buried in a closet, only to be found again when you go to hide Christmas presents or move.

Reservations can be made on our website or you are welcome to walk on in (subject to seating availability).

While you are crafting I will provide instructions when you need it and peace and quiet when you don't. All the while feeding you popcorn, bringing you tea or mixing up an italian soda, all of which are included in the price.

So hit up thepaintriot.com and reserve your seat now or visit the link in our bio.

And if you have any crafts you have been meaning to try, let me know. I am always looking for new things hyper fixate on....I mean try and then add to the menu.

Just look at this lil guy! LOOK AT HIM!

Well guess what? I am going to teach you how to make him.

Join us for a 2D/3D needle felting workshop where I will teach you how to stab wool over and over again until it looks like this.

This is a 3 hour workshop, because making something this cute takes time. And included with your ticket price is:

-all necessary supplies (obviously)
-guided instruction
-fresh popcorn
-coffee, tea, water and my newest obsession, italian soda!

Just to confirm, for less than the price of a dinner out you get to make a super cute and cozy craft, eat snacks, have a sparkly beverage and hangout with awesome people!

Needle Felted Ghost Workshop
@ The Paint Riot
8 Oxford St. Unit B
Cambridge, ON

Friday October 9th from 6pm-9pm
Tickets are $44.99 per person

And because of all the stabbing, we recommend ages 12+

Tickets are now on sale at thepaintriot.com, link in bio or drop a 👻 in the comments and I will send you the link.

Let's get this spooky season party started!

09/01/2026

Obviously the floor in our Cambridge splatter room gets covered in A LOT of paint. So I decided it was time for a bit of a glow up.

I have always wanted one of those arcade carpets and I figured this was the next best thing.

Sadly, I didn't have a paint roller available so I had to paint it by hand. And even though my back is not happy with me, it was so worth it.

For those wondering, those stripes are grip tape to help our rioters stay upright during their paint sessions.

What do you think?

And don't give a good gosh darn what other people think!

There are enough things and people in this world that are going to test you and break you down. Don't let yourself be one of them.

You don't need to fit in the box. You don't need to be perfect all the time. And every mess can be cleaned up. 😉

She's live!

Our brand new website is officially up. I gave The Paint Riot a much-needed digital glow-up, made it easier to explore everything we offer, and completely rebuilt our birthday party section. Go have a look and tell me what you think!

Have a look at thepaintriot.com

Ps. Don't come for me about the amount of tabs I have open.

We had the tremendous honour of hosting the summer camp this past week and the most epic blast was had!

They got to splatter, make fidgets, make buttons, play games and clearly enjoy the new Nex Playground we installed. They were the perfect rainy day activities.

The Paint Riot isn't just for birthday parties! We can find any reason to throw paint around. Summer camp, date night, team building, baby announcement (literally our first appointment ❤️) and our favourite reason, just because.

Thank you fiddlesticks for choosing us! We hope you guys had an awesome time and if the kiddos ever want to come back, we can make slime next time! 😉

Who doesn't love a good party? Even if it is in celebration of our summer vacation coming to an end.

Let's go out with a bang! This particular party is for the littluns aged 5-9. See our previous post regarding our back-to-school event for kiddos 10+.

This party has everything!
Paint splatter a pencil case to show off to your classmates.
Add a few pieces flair to your backpack by making custom buttons.
And of course, pizza and drinks to fuel your creative chaos!

Tickets are $30 and include all supplies, food and drinks. You are also welcome to drop the kiddos off with us and get some last minute school shopping done or hangout and watch their creative process.

Get your tickets by visiting our website, link in bio or dropping a 🎨 in the comments and I will send you the link directly!

I am just now realizing that I may have added a few funny references in the post that I think only millennials will spot. Did you catch them?

Back to school time....BUT FIRST, we party!

The Paint Riot in Cambridge, ON is hosting a few little back to school shindigs.

First up is for the 10+ crowd. They have been around the creative block a time or two and can reasonably be trusted around thousands of tiny rhinestones.

So the party itinerary....partinerary? Will be as follows:
-Suit up and head into our glowing paint room to splatter a pencil case.
-Break for pizza and beverages. You can't create a masterpiece on an empty stomach.
-Bedazzle custom waterproof stickers that shall adorn their fabulous new water bottles, laptops and trapper keepers for the new school year.

Come on, they have to have something to look forward to.

The ticket price includes all supplies and snacks. And just a heads up for the parents who might need a night out, this is a drop-off event. So you are welcome to go and paint the town red while they paint their pencil cases neon! Though you are always welcome to stay as well.

Grab your tickets through the link in our bio, or drop a 🎨 in the comments and I'll send you the details!

And don't worry, we have one for the littlins planned too. Stay tuned.
