We welcome you to enrich your life and experience the lively sound of dulcimer music in Morris, Illinois!

Relax with the sweet sounds of hammered and mountain dulcimers at the 24th Gebhard Woods Dulcimer Festival. Gebhard Woods is a beautiful Illinois state park with trails to hike and ride on, rivers and streams to fish in, and on the weekend of June 9-10, plenty of great music to enjoy learning and listening to.

Concerts • Workshops • Vendors • Food • Jamming Children's Activities • Old Time Dancing • and more!
Gebhard Woods State Park is located in the quaint town of Morris, which is conveniently located 65 miles southwest of the Chicago Loop.

For 25 years, H.A.N.D.S. has strived to provide folks exposure to these history-rich instruments. In recent years, several long-running festivals celebrating the dulcimer have ceased to exist. This festival is not-for-profit and depends on your support in order to survive. For the sake of future festivals and preserving dulcimer music in Illinois, please consider volunteering or making a donation. DONATE HERE
