There is an event called Darkmoon Faire that appears every two weeks. During the event, you can complete quests for each profession.
The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire, and will grant 5 skill points.

You can quickly check when the next Darkmoon Faire starts by clicking on the calendar icon on your minimap.

Where is the Darkmoon Faire?
The location of the Faire is on Darkmoon Island. The portals to the Island can be accessed in the following locations:
You can find the portal to the Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore at the base of Thunder Bluff.

You can find the portal to the Darkmoon Faire on the south side of Goldshire in Elwynn Forest.

Shopping List
Some of the quests require additional items, but you can buy all of them from vendors. Don't buy them from the Auction House.
Before heading to Darkmoon Island, make sure to buy these items for your profession quests. They're not available on the island, so forgetting them will mean a trip back to Elwynn Forest or Mulgore.
