Because the US Constitution requires that the President address Congress at least once a year, and the State of the Union Address at the end of January is the tradition that formed around it. It happens every year, and generally is a little overly optimistic. For example, the last State of the Union address before the Civil War began in earnest still contained the sentence, "The State of our Union is strong!"

I hope that helps to answer your question.
