The Steam Game Festival will be a recurring event
Next edition planned for October.

Valve confirmed today that its Steam Game Festival, originally planned as a way for developers to promote their games among the cancellation of gaming events, will be a permanent fixture in its events lineup, with two more planned for the first half of 2021.
This was a decision made following " from developers and players alike", which likely included "Man, playing demos for new and games sure is neat," " when demos were a regular thing you got with your print magazine purchases?" and "How the hell am I supposed to play 900 demos in a single week? I'm a working adult!"
During the last Game Festival back in June, Rachel made a Going Under. The Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition now has an official date, too—from October 7 (10 am PST/6 pm BST) to October 13, you'll once again be able to find new games through the power of the demo.
