The meteors will appear to be coming from the east but, depending upon where they hit the Earth's atmosphere (and start to burn up) they could actually appear anywhere in the sky:

The simple answer to that question is, Micmak, is "when it's dark"!
The meteor shower lasts for several days, peaking around the 12th and the 13th. They'll be burning up in the atmosphere throughout all of that time but, because of the brightness of the sun, they'll only be visible during darkness (and, of course, when there's very little cloud cover).
