craft fair / traditional trade fair


Explanation:
I assume you mean 'mostra' instead of 'mostre'.

You could add 'traditional' to 'trade fair' or use 'craft fair'.

Have a look at these links from la Generalitat de Catalunya webpage:

Les arts i els ***oficis tradicionals***. L’artesania
s. XV dC - s. XXI dC
Catalunya manté una gran diversitat d’arts i oficis. Arreu del país es practiquen oficis tan tradicionals com les puntes de coixí, sobretot a l’Arboç, o les palmes i palmons. Tampoc s’ha perdut ***l’ofici*** de cistellaire o el de terrisser i rajoler, amb poblacions punteres com la Bisbal de l’Empordà. Catalunya també compta amb un ric patrimoni de rellotges de sol i coneixements, com l’herboristeria, que s’han transmès de generació en generació.

English version:

Traditional arts and trades. Handicraft
15th Century AC - 21th Century AC
Catalonia has preserved a great variety of arts and trades. All over the region ***traditional trades*** like lace cushion making, especially in Arboç, or palm leaves and ‘palmons’ [whitened palm leaf displayed on Palm Sunday] are still practised. The trade of basket making or pottery and tile making has not been lost either, with industries in Bisbal de l’Empordà. Catalonia also has a rich heritage of sun dials and folk knowledge, like herbalism, which has been passed down through the generations.

Notes to answerer
Asker: yes, yes, sorry mostra.

Asker: Yes, I did think of craft fair but that would be Fira d'Artesania, which is not exactly the same thing.

Asker: Brilliant. Thanks.
