German term or phrase: in 2. Auflage über die Bühne gehen
Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das noch junge Jahr 2019 wieder spannend und innovativ, wenn in 2. Auflage die „Handwerk“, die wichtigste Fachmesse für Holz, Werkzeug, Farbe & Handel, direkt im Anschluss an die XX-Messe über die Bühne geht.

Considering all this, 2019 while still young promises to be exciting and innovative, starting with the XX-Messe to be followed directly by the "Handwerk" fair, the most important specialist fair for wood, tools, paint & trade which ***will take place for the second time***?

vielen Dank!

agree  Michael Martin, MA: I think Steffen's version sounds more modern - takes center stage

will take place for the second time


Explanation:
Your own suggestion is the best! I do realise this is less exciting, but do we really need to reproduce the mixed metaphers (2.Auflage-publishing, Bühne-theatre) of the original?!

the second annual (Skilled) Crafts and Trades Show ..comes to town


Explanation:
or "gets under way"

Vor diesem Hintergrund:
I don't always agree when people insist more context is needed but I am really surprised we're not seeing more demands for context in this case. We're all forced to make assumptions to translate this one..

With all this happening, the still nascent year promises to be an exciting and innovative time again as the second annual (Skilled) Crafts and Trades Show ..comes to town right on the heels of the XX Trade Show.

Or:

With all this happening, the still nascent year promises to be an exciting and innovative time again as the second annual (Skilled) Crafts and Trades Show ..gets under way, following the XX trade show.
