Confluence in December

Confluence December Events in Cramerton, NC

Our new space in Cramerton, NC just opened in November and we’d love to see you there!


Confluence is where all of our favorite things come together in support of the South Fork River section of the Catawba River and the people that live alongside it! While a confluence is the place where two rivers merge, Confluence is a place where art, music, and recreation come together right on the banks of 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. 


From art workshops and recreation rentals to live music and craft beers, our goal is to bring people together to make new friends, meet their neighbors, and support the river while they do it!

The rocky shoals spider lily (Hymenocallis occidentalis) is a rare aquatic flowering plant characterized by its distinctive crown-like membrane called the "corona." The flower features six spider-leg-like extensions attached to the corona, along with six stamens. Each plant grows to about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide in direct sunlight, with multiple blooms on a single stalk.

All About Alligator Weed

By Madison Washington • June 11, 2026
Native to South America, alligator weed has become a widespread invasive species along the East Coast, rapidly spreading through waterways, wetlands, and shorelines. Its aggressive growth disrupts ecosystems by outcompeting native vegetation, reducing habitat quality for wildlife, and creating challenges for recreation, water management, and local communities.
