agree  neilmac: "Theme" is a nice option, my "sobriquet" is likely too snooty...

  -> Thanks! It's a good word, though.

either would do, but I prefer "under the motto"

I would go with "under the motto"

Will be known as....


Explanation:
'Motto' and other translations like 'theme' come across as perhaps too literal. How about:

This year's Feria de Leon will be known as the Feria of smiles...

I'd put Feria de Leon in italics but I'm new here and can't seem to do it.

with the theme "The Market of Smiles"


Explanation:
The word "lema" means: motto, theme, saying and even catch phrase. In this context, however, I believe that theme sounds the best.

Example sentence(s):
  • We would like to have a celebration this year with the theme: Castles in the Sky.
  • A World Without Hunger will be this year's theme.
