The date on the Jewish calendar is 6th of Sivan. How this correlates with the Gregorian Calendar depends on the year.
If Passover falls early, such as will happen in 2015, the holiday of Shavuot, signalling the end of the Omer and the celebration of receiving the Torah, will happen towards the end of May. However, Shavuot can fall instead in the beginning of June if Passover comes late, such as will happen in 2016.
