Some of gospel music’s biggest acts have partnered with McDonald’s to present free concerts in Atlanta and 13 other cities across the country.

The McDonald's Inspiration Celebration Gospel Tour kicked off May 13 and runs through Oct. 17. It stops in Atlanta Sunday at the Georgia World Congress Center. Doors will open at 3 p.m.

Hosting the tour is Stellar-nominated artist and radio personality Lonnie Hunter. He will be joined on stage by music director and songwriter Donald Lawrence, Yolanda Adams, evangelist Dorinda Clark-Cole, Ricky Dillard, DeWayne Woods, BET’s Sunday Best season six winner Tasha Page-Lockhart and Christian comedienne Small Fire.

Back for its ninth year, the tour focuses on the importance of giving back to the community by supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities, which is celebrating its 41st anniversary. This year concertgoers will have the opportunity to learn about RMHC and the important role it plays in helping families heal and thrive in their local community and worldwide.

The tour is an extension of McDonald's 365Black platform, an initiative that celebrates the pride, heritage, and achievements of African-Americans year round. To learn more about the tour and the 365Black initiative, visit www.365Black.com.
