you can write accessor method in your model to get formatted date and get formatted date in defined keys

class EventModel < ActiveRecord::Base

    #model code
    def start_date_display
        self[:event_group_start].strftime("%m/%d/%Y")
    end

    def end_date_display
        self[:event_group_end].strftime("%m/%d/%Y")
    end

end

now when you call the json method do like this

@data.to_json :methods => [:start_date_display,:end_date_display]

Data[1].each do |d|
   d["event_group_end"].to_date.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
end
