Spanish term or phrase: protagonista durante una jornada
Como viene siendo tradicional, la presencia de la provincia de Huelva en Fruit Logística es protagonista durante una jornada. En la edición pasada, todo el sector de la fresa y de los cítricos onubenses allí representados ofrecieron una recepción institucional de la mano de la Cámara de Comercio de Huelva y el apoyo de la Diputación de Huelva a la que acudió una nutrida representación de organismos institucionales presentes en la feria.

I know what it means but can't think of a 'catchy' equivalent. TIA!

steals the show (for a day)


Explanation:
How long does the fair run for? If only one day, then I would leave out the 'durante un jornada' part.

protagonist for a day


Explanation:
Why not?? This would be a perfectly correct use of the English word protagonist. And I actually think it sounds quite natural and appropriate.
