McDonald's offers consumers a free McSkillet Burrito on Thursday and Friday with purchase of a medium and large beverage, while supplies last at participating restaurants. McDonald's projects that one million McSkillet Burritos will be given away each day of the two-day sampling event.

Customers in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco will be treated to special events and celebrity appearances throughout the promotion.

On Thursday, acclaimed singer Yolanda Perez will greet McDonald's customers during the morning rush at a restaurant in Los Angeles, Calif. That same day, a popular radio station will join the celebration through a live remote at a McDonald's restaurant in San Francisco. Wrapping up the festivities on Friday, customers will have the chance to meet Grammy-award winning R&B sensation Ciara when she goes behind the counter at a McDonald's in downtown Chicago.
