Multiple award-winning rapper and hip-hop artist Lil’ Kim will be the featured headliner at the 33rd annual AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run, which takes place on Saturday, September 28, at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. She will be joined by singer/songwriter and DJ Durand Bernarr who will kick off the concert event that follows a 5K run/walk through Atlanta’s historic midtown community.

This is the second time Lil’ Kim has joined AHF to educate audiences about the fight against HIV/AIDS.  In 2021, she headlined AHF’s Florida AIDS Walk and Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale.

“This annual event offers a time to create a greater awareness of the impact of HIV and AIDS on the local Atlanta community as well as an opportunity to bring together thousands of individuals from across the region to raise critical funds for these 13 worthy organizations,” said Dr. Felicia Ivey, AHF Atlanta regional director. “AHF is proud to present this event as one of the many ways that we educate and empower the local community to join the fight against HIV and AIDS.”

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s largest nonprofit HIV/AIDS healthcare organization, hosts AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run which raises more than $1 million each year for 13 Atlanta-based HIV/AIDS service organizations. Past AIDS Walk Atlanta artists have included Ashanti, Myá, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Monica, Sevyn Streeter, Wale, and Trina.
