THIS IS WHERE ALL OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS CONVERGE.
A confluence is the junction where two rivers come together, where multiple things merge. Confluence is a place where art, music, and recreation come together alongside the river to create that place of convergence for the community. Confluence is a place where neighbors and friends can meet to learn, grow, create, move, and find joy, together.

We know that art has the ability to invigorate and excite people. Having a tangible and visible presence of creation gives people pride of place; something that residents can look at and say “that’s in MY hometown”. We want to be leaders in Cramerton to make sure that everyone has access to art. Because art is rad and everyone deserves some art in their life!

We LOVE music. Any kind of music. It’s the background to our lives and has the power to reach our souls. A good concert has the power to erase a bad work week. A great song can change your life. You can see why it’s so important for us to bring live music to the community - because it has the power to BUILD community.

We love the outdoors. Running, hiking, biking, disc golf, cornhole… you name it and it’s our jam! We pretty much want you to love it too, which is why we think it’s important to be a downtown presence that makes it easy for you to get active and maybe even help you meet some friends along the way! If the great outdoors isn’t in your comfort zone, join us indoors for games, darts, painting classes and so much more.

Did you know that clean drinking water makes for better beverages? Get refreshed with an ice-cold craft beer or cider that’s made with water from the Catawba River Basin. For all of the reasons why it’s so important to keep our river happy and healthy, we think enjoying a tasty beverage is high up on the list!

Catawba Riverkeeper
The Catawba Riverkeeper is led by a dedicated group of full-time staff, part-time staff, volunteer board members, and community volunteers. Our mission is to protect the Catawba-Wateree River basin, which we do by focusing on threats to clean water through monitoring and addressing coal ash issues, permitted pollution discharges, stormwater runoff, concentrated animal feeding operations, and preventing waterborne diseases. We are pretty much the MVPs of keeping our river safe for you to drink and play. We support this mission by encouraging engagement with and opportunities to learn about the Catawba River.
