Possible to remove Time from date variable?

Is it possible to remove the time stamp (1:23pm) from the date (September 2, 2016). I would like to only display the date of the published page, not both the date and time.

It depends. If this is a custom theme your twig would look like
{{ page.date|date("F d, Y") }}

though some themes may have a configurable format while others may have a hardcoded format
