If you're referring to the hoax that says Mars will be as big as the moon when viewing, sorry to pop your bubble. Here's a link to explain that:

If you really do just want to know when to view Mars it's already set for this viewing season. However, to help you find it at a later date, go to this web site - it's really good at letting you know what is visible:

Also note that it has an interactive sky chart which allows you to inoput your location via zip code, city/state, or latitude and longitude. - and will then give you a rendition of the night sky at YOUR location.

I received an email and my daughter told me Mars was visible in 2003. If it has not happened I heard the date was August 27th.
