Use System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogReader:

using (var reader = new EventLogReader(@"path\to\log.evtx", PathType.FilePath))
{
    EventRecord record;
    while((record = reader.ReadEvent()) != null)
    {
        using (record)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}: {2}", record.TimeCreated, record.LevelDisplayName, record.FormatDescription());
        }
    }        
}
