The Woof and Wag event, organised by CancerCare, will take place at Abbot Hall Park on Saturday, August 30, offering a day of dog-friendly fun.
Running from 11am to 4pm, the event will feature games, stalls, entertainment and a dog show.
Lisa Oliver-Hannis, CancerCare's south lakes community fundraiser, said: "We are so excited to return to Kendal with Woof & Wag.
"We had the most incredible day 12 months ago and the event promises to be bigger and better this year.
"With stalls, games and a dog show judged by some local legends, there is something for all the family, especially the four-legged members."
The highlight of the day will be the dog show at 2pm, featuring categories such as best trick, waggiest tail and best in show.
Special guest judges will be announced on the day.
The event is free to attend, with a £2 entry fee per dog per show class.

Woof and Wag is sponsored by Kendal-based Taylor Made Dog Centre, an award-winning doggy daycare provider.
Last year's event was described as a "roaring success" by CancerCare, which supports people affected by cancer, life-shortening illnesses and bereavement.
The café and facilities at the neighbouring Abbot Hall art gallery will be open to the public throughout the day.
The event is open to all dogs and their owners.

Ex-Liverpool star Andy Carroll dumps girlfriend Lou Teasdale after growing 'sick' of her 'demands & influencer lifestyle' two months on from being quizzed by police over holiday rows
Carroll splits with girlfriend Couple have had problems recently Striker back in England with Dagenham & Redbridge Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? The 36-year-old was quizzed twice by Greek police in June after bust-ups with Teasdale on holiday. The pair had been dating since Carroll split with former partner Billi Mucklow and had been tipped to get married. However, it now appears their romance is all over, with Carroll struggling to cope with Teasdale's influencer lifestyle. WHAT HAS BEEN SAID A source told The Sun: "Andy got sick of Lou's demands and her influencer lifestyle. She's always posting on social media and he hates that. He told her it was over this week. He's single now." One of Carroll's friends also told the tabloid: "Andy and Lou have been having massive rows for a while. It's been a tough time and now he's back in the UK, he just wants to focus on football and his kids. He hates the influencer lifestyle. He has no interest in posing for loved-up pics. He's most happy spending time with his children and kicking a ball around. Money and fame means nothing to him these days. It was clearly causing issues between them." THE GOSSIP Carroll is back in the UK after two years in France with Bordeaux. The striker has made the shock move to Dagenham & Redbridge, joking that his kids though he was "signing for Chelsea". Carroll was said to be eager to head back to England for family reasons and has also taken a shareholder role at the club following a recent takeover from a Qatari investment consortium. WHAT NEXT FOR CARROLL? Carroll endured a humiliating 5-1 defeat on his debut for Dagenham & Redbridge, and has since been laid low with a hamstring injury. He will play no part when the team returns to action on Saturday against Salisbury in the National League.

Vanessa Feltz shares the truth behind Naga Munchetty's 'diva-like behaviour' amid 'bullying' probe
Vanessa Feltz has spoken out over claims Naga Munchetty has been 'rude' to younger members of staff. In June, the BBC Breakfast presenter, 50, was accused of 'bullying' a female colleague and making an off-air sex joke. Last week, it was alleged that Munchetty scolded an intern for the way they spread Marmite on her toast at the BBC's flagship morning show. Feltz has now defended the fellow TV journalist and urged critics to understand the pressures of live television. 'Before judging Naga for any diva-like behaviour, consider the demands of live early morning TV. There's no time for politeness,' the Celebs Go Dating star wrote in her Daily Express column. 'With no ad breaks, BBC presenters, who have been up since 3am, have to swallow snacks at speed while producers bark directions in their earpieces and hair and makeup staff descend to touch-up.' Feltz went on: 'A swift, mildly rattled 'could you go easy on the Marmite?' might sound hostile to an inexperienced intern, but the chances are it's not meant to be anything but short sharp communication from someone harangued and hungry.' Last week, The Sun claimed Munchetty was irate with an intern over how they prepared her toast. A source added to the Daily Mail: 'She's an absolute nightmare. She has a reputation for going at young members of staff and making them out to be fools.' The Standard has contacted Munchetty's representative for comment. The BBC said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.' Munchetty usually presents BBC Breakfast alongside co-star Charlie Stayt, 63, every Thursday to Saturday, while Jon Kay, 55, and Sally Nugent, 54, host at the beginning of the week. Munchetty and Stayt are being assessed and are under review after concerns were raised about their behaviour behind the scenes, according to a report from The Sun last week. An external HR adviser from consultancy firm PwC has reportedly been working with the BBC to examine workplace culture on the long-running programme. A source told the outlet: 'A number of people have come forward to share their experiences with Charlie, so the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review. 'Charlie and Naga will be assessed separately.' Staff are said to have raised concerns about 'rudeness', 'bullying', and conduct that allegedly undermined team members. It comes after BBC Breakfast editor Richard Frediani stepped away from his role for an extended period following a series of bullying allegations. Munchetty, who joined the show in 2014, has reportedly been spoken to by bosses over two separate incidents in a three-year period. The Radio 5 Live presenter was allegedly spoken to by senior BBC figures after reportedly making a sex-related remark during her radio show. It's claimed she used a crude slang term and asked a colleague whether they had ever performed the act in question. Last month, it was reported that she is weighing up her future at the BBC, despite receiving a £10,000 pay rise and remaining one of the broadcaster's top-paid stars. It was alleged that she is said to be considering a move to rival station LBC due to the recent alleged internal controversies. Solve the daily Crossword
