Downtown L.A. is about to get a whole lot more vertical! On Saturday, August 15, The Last Bookstore <\/a>is hosting the Spring Arts Tower Takeover, transforming all 12 floors of the historic building<\/a> into what\u2019s being billed as \u201cL.A.\u2019s first and only vertical community market\u201d. Expect hundreds of vendors spanning everything from handmade art<\/a> and jewelry to collectibles, oddities, and more, all packed into one of downtown\u2019s most iconic addresses.<\/p>\n

The Spring Arts Tower in DTLA is a historic building that \u201cnow thrives as a creative arts studio and professional workspace\u201d. The Last Bookstore\u2019s\u00a0flagship store<\/a> is in the ground floor, and inside, you\u2019ll find \u201cover 500,000 books and records, collectibles, and a maze of art galleries, hidden spaces, and curiosities\u201d.<\/p>\n

What to expect from the event<\/p>\n

The event<\/a> kicks off at ground level inside The Last Bookstore, one of the most beloved independent bookstores in the country and a longtime downtown L.A. landmark. Known for its labyrinth of towering shelves, book-tunnel photo spot, and sprawling collection<\/a> of new and used titles.<\/p>\n

Once inside, you can make your way up through all 12 floors of the Spring Arts Tower, each one hosting a different mix of vendors<\/a>. Think local artists, small businesses, vintage sellers, and curators of the strange and unusual, all set inside a building with real architectural history. Because of the building\u2019s capacity, tickets are sold in two-hour entry windows, so you should plan around your assigned time slot. The event won\u2019t be a one-off: organizers are planning to bring it back every third Saturday of the month, starting with this August 15 debut.<\/p>\n
