Confluence - River, Arts, Music, and Recreation

Confluence Grand Opening 

 

On behalf of the Town of Cramerton and Catawba Riverkeeper, I am extremely excited to announce the opening of Confluence – an Arts, Music, and Recreation Center in downtown Cramerton on the banks of the South Fork River. Confluence's mission is to be a place where art, music, and recreation come together alongside the river to create a place of convergence for the community. This unique public/non-profit partnership will bring a new energy to downtown Cramerton for residents and visitors alike and all of the proceeds from Confluence will directly support the South Fork River Health Project.

 

Please join us for our opening weekend on November 4th - 6th to experience the new culture and activity hub in the Cramerton area! There will be a ribbon cutting on Friday, November 4th for our official public grand opening beginning at 4p and activities and music all weekend long, sponsored by John and Jennifer Church and Chronicle Millworks. We look forward to seeing you to help us celebrate the opening of this exciting new addition to Gaston County!
