I'm using a date field type to display the date of an upcoming event, but when its rendered it displays as a string of numbers. For example, one date displays as "1356393654". I'm not using any plug-ins, and I've already set the date formatting, which doesn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas?

    <ul class="upcoming-events>
        <li class="section-post">
            {exp:channel:entries channel="home" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" sort="asc"}
            <h3><img src="{site_url}/images/interface/noun_project_8151.svg" width="18" alt="calendar"> {title}</h3>
            <h5>{event_date format=%D, %F %d, %Y}</h5>
            <p>{event_details}</p>
            {/exp:channel:entries}
        </li>
    </ul>

    I guess your forgot the '' between your format date => {event_date format='%D, %F %d, %Y'}

You forgot the '' in your tag :

<h5>{event_date format=%D, %F %d, %Y}</h5>

Correct : 

<h5>{event_date format='%D, %F %d, %Y'}</h5>
