MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Doggy Day is returning to Milwaukee's Deer District in 2023. 

The second annual event, presented by Winston's Wishes and Central Bark, will feature local vendors, food and beverages, live entertainment, prizes and activities, according to a press release.

Doggy Day will benefit the nonprofit group Winston's Wishes -- an organization that focuses on supporting dogs who may not do well in a shelter environment, such as senior pups or dogs who may need a little extra care.

"We are so excited to be bringing Doggy Day back to Deer District for the next two years,” said Jake Schneider, founder and president of Winston’s Wishes. “We are extremely grateful for the amount of support the inaugural event received, helping our organization support more local pups in need while providing a wonderful experience for all of the dog lovers that attended. We cannot wait to see everyone and their pups for year two!”

Doggy Day will take place on April 8, 2023, from 10-4 p.m. 

The event is free and open to the public and their "well-socialized, leashed dogs."
