Visualforce Date formatting

This will print the date out in the format December 14, 2013. The documentation can be found here

<apex:outputText value="{0, date, MMMM d','  yyyy}">
    <apex:param value="{!contact.Birthdate}" /> 
</apex:outputText>

or if all you need is the current date printed out in that format then you can use this:

<apex:outputText value="{0, date, MMMM d','  yyyy}">
    <apex:param value="{!NOW()}" />
</apex:outputText>

Have a look at the JavaDocs for SimpleDateFormat for the various date formats. (Thanks to @PeterKnolle for the correct link)

<apex:outputText value="{0,date,MM'/'dd'/'yyyy}">
    <apex:param value="{!contact.Birthdate}" /> 
</apex:outputText>
