Well I'm not officially associated with the event nor am I a volunteer so I have no control over when it takes place. That said with the exception of one year when it took place in October it has always been held on Labor Day weekend. I agree it may not be the best time for a festival since many people choose to spend that weekend with their families but that's they way they do things.

I just want to point out that tickets went on sale yesterday(June 15th) for ProgDay and advance tickets(which are 100 dollars for weekend pass) will be on sale until August 15th. After that the price goes up. Again, please check out the website http://www.progday.com - www.progday.com for more info. See you there!
