今年和大家一起參與迎接新年慶會的有中華文化中心藝術家侯玉梅。她二零零一年從中國東北移民舊金山華埠，是一位中國傳統的剪紙藝術家，從藝多年。她的作品剛被舊金山市府藝術委員會選為中央地鐵華埠車站的主要裝飾品，將在今年開始設置於正在興建的車站內。侯玉梅多次在本市的藝術展示活動中示範剪紙藝術。在中華文化中心兔年春節慶會中，侯玉梅一如既往繼續她的表演，並與觀眾互動。
中華文化中心去年的春節慶會首次推出燈謎內容，深受民眾歡迎。今年，燈謎同樣精彩。猜中者可獲紅包，內有各種獎品。 春節慶會的活動還有音樂、刻印、瑞獅、算命等表演以及其他節目。聯邦郵政總局發行的兔年生肖紀念郵票也可在現場購買。為了配合兔年，中華文化中心與本地動物保護機構合作，向公眾提供小兔作為寵物領養。
中華文化中心每年的春節慶會是舊金山規模最大的室內農曆新年慶祝活動，每年的參加者都超過五千人。中華文化中心希望與社區的所有朋友一起迎春接福。
