October will have five full weekends (if you consider a "full weekend", where Fri, Sat & Sun are in the same month) any time (and only) when October 1 is a Friday. Since the first of a month can only fall on 7 different days of the week, then this will happen on average every 7 years. However, due to the effect of "Leap Year", it does not happen exactly every 7 years. Sometimes there is as few as 5 years between occurrences and sometimes there is as many as 11 years between occurrences. We happen to be in a cycle where there is 11 years between occurrences. It happened this year (2010), and will not happen again for 11 years, on in the year 2021. October 1, 2021 is a Friday.

There is a story circulating that it only happens every 800 and something years. In fact I heard that on the radio. I have been trying to determine the origin of that story, but have not had any luck.
