We know this because a title card tells us it is October 16th, 1932 AD. This doesn't seem to be confirmable by context but it is most likely October of 1932 AD.
Additionally, there's a prologue that includes events referred to in later dialogue as having happened "the day before" so we know it's October 15th, 1932 AD.
Finally, there's an epilogue in a post-credits scene that includes concert posters announcing an upcoming Blues performance on October 16th, 1993 AD. So it must now be early October of 1993 AD.
