SPRINGFIELD — With the inclusion this year of a Beatles cover band, the theme for CultureFest 2011 really should be “Here, There and Everywhere.”

Now in its 15th year, the annual festival on City Hall Plaza aims to showcase different cultures — but that doesn’t necessarily mean international.

This year’s festival is set for 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

After all these years, admission remains the same in dollars, pesos, euros, rubles or rupees.

It’s still free.

Here’s the schedule of events for the festival’s two stages:
