There is no such thing as the summer equinox. You are probably thinking about the summer solstice, which is around June 21 in the Northern hemisphere when the north pole is closest to the Sun, or around December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere when the south pole is closest to the Sun. These mark the first day of summer in the respective hemispheres.
The vernal and autumnal equinoxes are around March 21 and September 21st, when the poles are equidistant from the Sun, and mark the first day of spring and fall.
