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!

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.

Normally I wouldn't! Their decor is always insanely expensive. But I had a coupon!!
And just look at her. She is beautiful!
This isn't even for Halloween. She is the new centrepiece for our craft cafe table. 😬
I see rain in the forecast....
GOOD NEWS! It never rains inside The Paint Riot (knock on wood), and we have loads of stuff to keep the kiddos enjoying that summertime fun!
Paint splatter! Slime! Crafts! Snacks! So don't let a little drizzle stop you from having a blast!

OMG you guys! We have a new vendor and I may have already bought a bunch of stuff from them. 😬
gone.wild is a Cambridge icon and specializes in some of the coolest bath stuff I have ever seen. This is just a handful of the stuff that they make, but it fits in here so well.
There is a ton of bath bombs that are not only delightfully fizzy and smell incredible, but most of these have little treats inside! And since we can't get toys in our cereal anymore. Why not get it in our bath bombs?
They also have some paint your own bath bomb kits here too! Which is definitely on brand for The Paint Riot!
So next time you are here, don't forget to check out their shelf. It also comes in handy if you are looking for loot bag treats. 😉
Summertime can be slow for businesses like mine. People prefer to be outside, enjoying the warm weather. I get it...kind of.
As someone with the complexion of a ghost, who gets burnt just thinking about the sun, I wanted to try an appeal to people like me and let them know that I see you. Unless it's in a reflection.
You can still enjoy water blasters and water balloons, just like the day walkers! Except we fill them with paint and it's glow-in-the-dark!!
To explain this properly, I dusted off my very expensive and very outdated film school education.
Meet Ashula. A vampire who wants to have some fun, without the sun.
Volume Up!
Paint Riot ASMR thanks to not cleaning our paint cart....ever.
