AniMarketplace 2023 took place on Sunday, December 17, 2023 in Little Tokyo. As one of the event coordinators, I felt the need to document this event for my personal blog. This annual artist market takes place annually in downtown Los Angeles. This is the first time AniMarketplace held their artist market during the winter time, making it viable to also serve as a holiday shopping venue.<\/p>\n

The event had about 400+ unique attendees and about 100 or so artists tabling. Admission was about $10 to attend the event. In addition to shopping at the artist market, there were also local idol performers such as Berry, Deco Pro, Hamu Cotton, System Live, Maid Academy Cafe, etc. Tune in Tokyo provided Citypop vibes as people shopped.<\/p>\n

This even also brought in cosplayers in the area. Despite the chilly weather, a few people showed up in the afternoon to show off their costumes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
