Shooting stars, normally called meteors, are visible every night of the year everywhere on Earth.

There are periodic "meteor showers" that occur when the Earth passes through or near the trail of a comet; for example, the Eta Aquarid meteor shower occurs every year on May 6 and May 7, which happens to be TONIGHT. It is easiest to see meteors between the hours of about 2 AM to dawn, as you will be on the "leading edge" of the Earth during that time.
