FYI, this story is more than a year old

Halo Waypoint and 343 Industries have announced Halo Fest, a three-day event that will take place at this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle in late August.

Taking place on August 26th through to August 28th, Halo Waypoint contends that if there's one year for Halo fans to attend the popular gaming expo, this is it. "With a PAX Prime badge, fans gain admission to Halo Fest, the largest and most expansive live Halo experience ever," reads the official announcement on Microsoft's Halo website. "Packed with tournaments, exclusive panels and sweet prizes, Halo Fest is the place to be for Halo fans attending PAX Prime 2011."

"The event commemorates 10 incredible years of Halo, looking back at the amazing stories that forged a diverse community and redefined gaming for two entire console generations. Join us August 26th-28th, at the Washington State Convention Center, and see why the last 10 years of Halo were just the beginning."

Perhaps official details of the rumoured Halo: Combat Evolved remake will surface at this event.
