The Equinoxes.

There are two a year, coming half way between Midsummer 21st June and Midwinter 21st December when the days are longest and shortest.

Actually Equinox has to do with the position of the equator with regard to the sun and so they vary slightly year to year.

The Spring Equinox is March 20th or 21st and the Autumnal Equinox 21st or 22nd September.

This assumes you are in the northern hemisphere, otherwise reverse everything.

When night and day are approximately of equal length occurs twice per year. In the northern hemisphere these days are called the Vernal Equinox (20-21 March) and the Autumnal Equinox (22-23 September).
