You can look up the exact time of the solstices and equinoxes each year on the "Earth's Seasons" web page at the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The solstices are the longest and shortest days of the year; there are always two every year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually June 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually December 20 or 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually December 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually June 20 or 21.
Two equinoxes (from the word 'equal') occur each year: one in the Spring, called the vernal equinox from a word for green-ness, and also the autumnal equinox in the Fall. On the day and hour of the equinoxes, days and nights are the same length of time.

two The June solstice is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. The December solstice is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere.
Depending on the calendar shift, the summer solstice occurs on the 20th or 21st of June and the Winter solstice occurs on the 20th or 21st of December.
In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs once each year in the month of June. The winter solstice occurs once a year in December. In the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite with the summer solstice occurring in December and the winter solstice occurring in June.

June and December. Specifically, the summer equinox is on June 21 (sometimes June 20) and the winter equinox on December 21 (sometimes December 22).
Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
solstice june 21 and december 21
No...not really. What was put in the Webster's Dictionary is this: Solstice means either of the two times a year, about June 21 and about Dec. 22, when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator.
There is no Fall solstice. The sun's arrival at the equinoxes marks the beginningof Spring in one hemisphere and Fall in the other. The sun arrives at the equinoxeson March 21 and near September 22.
