The Vernal Equinox, also known as the Spring Equinox, occurs once per year and is the kick off to the season of Spring. It is when the sun's rays are directly beaming down on the Tropic of Cancer. No city can be located on the Vernal Equinox, as it is not a place. However, a city could be placed at the Tropic of Cancer in which the Vernal Equinox happens, although no city is currently located on this line of latitude.

the vernal equinox
The adjectives vernal and autumnal mean "of spring" and "of autumn (fall)" respectively. The equinox, when the day and night are even, occurs twice a year. Once in spring and once in autumn (fall) as we move from the extremes of the summer and winter solstices. Therefore we have a vernal equinox (in spring) and an autumnal equinox (in autumn/fall).
