Folklorama is turning 40 this year and to celebrate it is getting a makeover.

Folklorama is the largest, longest-running multicultural culture festival in the world.

The new look, created by Neuhaus Design of Winnipeg, respects the traditions of the past, but brings in new life and vitality.

The new look was introduced at Friday's Moose game during Folklorama Night, a night to celebrate multiculturalism in Manitoba.

The 40th annual Folklorama festival runs from August 2, 2009 to August 15, 2009.
