The Summer Sun Celebration happens on the longest day of the year -- the Summer Solstice. The Summer Solstice is June 21.

Given that Canterlot is the home of and ruled by the entities that control the sun and moon, the seasons are very important tot hem. Remember the shame and scandal when Ponyville's winter was not wrapped up on time for several years running.

According to Applebuck Season, the Gala is on "the 21st of ... yadda yadda..."

It is already night when the ponies leave for the Gala. The stars are out. Unless the Gala runs VERY late, or is very short, it cannot be summer. Despite this, it is not particularly cold, because much of it takes place outdoors. It cannot be winter. But the trees are green, so it must be the beginning of autumn.

The Grand Galloping Gala takes place on September 21, the autumn equinox.

If anyone complains that the September equinox is on the 22nd or 23rd, Equestria is on Samoan time.
