I think you guys are mistaken. Free admission on August 20th is for all ages. Above where it says free admission for kids 13 and under is regarding the whole fair period. They implemented this instead of the tickets you get in your report card.

The old Chinese gramps & grannies don't have jobs so they will flock there regardless which day of the week it is. Regular people who work M-F 9-5 now can't really take advantage of the free admission morning. Cash grab I tell ya!

From a marketing standpoint, it's a good move for them. Why have the free admission day on a weekend, when it'll be packed regardless? Better for them to have it on a weekday when it's less busy.

It makes sense for them to do the Free Day on a Monday
Their weekends and long weekends are already notoriously busy
Monday would most likely be their slowest day and making it the Free admission day would drive traffic to that day.
Gone are the days when it was FREE on a weekend
