Assuming that your variable is the number of weeks since the beginning
of 1960, which is what Stata tends to assume (see -help tdates-), then
... , xla(... , format("%twm_d"))
where any ... is to be filled in by yourself.
If 33, 34, 35, 36 are weeks of some unspecified year, known
only to yourself, then there
are various solutions. The quickest if this is a one-off graph
may be to do it on the fly
... , xla(33 "Aug 11" 34 "Aug 18" ...)

graph bar ... , over(whatever, lab(ang(v)))
_or_ consider what is often a much better solution
to avoid giraffe graphics:
graph hbar ... , over(whatever)
