Everything depends on local conditions. Black flies make Mount Carleton Provincial Park in New Brunswick, Canada uncomfortable until the middle of August has passed so NBANB has their star party in late August or early September. Michigan's state bird (mosquito) is susceptible to frost, so the Great Lakes Star Gaze is usually scheduled for the middle to end of September. This is also the month following the two big regional star parties: BFSP and Astrofest. I could add a few more examples, but I think you get the idea.
I suggest that you form a committee to pick your star party dates, that way no one person has to take all the grief if it rains the whole weekend.
