Come paint a free birdhouse! Everyone’s welcome: kids, grown-ups, first-timers and old hands alike. There’ll be music, colour, and fun for the whole family. We bring the birdhouses, paint, and brushes; you bring your imagination. Drop in any time between 2 and 6 and leave with something you made.

📍 Street Seats · Cambridge St at Somerset, Chinatown
It's official, we're painting birdhouses at the Cambridge "Street Seats", the City of Ottawa's pop-up public plaza right where Cambridge meets Somerset in the heart of Chinatown. The Street Seats program turns a quiet stretch of street into a welcoming space for seating, art, and community all summer long. Drop in any time between 1p.m. and 4p.m. We bring the birdhouses, paint, and brushes; you just bring yourself. Kids, grown-ups, first-timers, old hands: everyone's invited. Pull up a chair and help us bring colour to one of Chinatown's newest gathering places.
We're always looking for spaces and organizers. Get in touch and let's make something happen.
