I have to agree with tentofield's answer about equinoces and solstices. They occur for everyone as they are special events in connection with the apparent position of the Sun on the celestial sphere.
Seasons are "local" events. Some places on Earth have only two seasons (wet and dry).
---
In most years, there are 4 eclipses per year (however, there may be years with more, with the recent record being 7 in 1982). This is also a result of Earth travelling around the Sun, plus the fact that we have a Moon whose orbit is close to the plane of our orbit (on other planets, main satellites orbit on the planet's equatorial plane, not the orbital plane).
I'm sure that as we relax the conditions, we can find more and more "events" which occur in groups of 4.

There are four seasons in highish latitudes like northern Europe but there are any number of seasons elsewhere. Australia has from two to eight seasons depending on where you are and the local culture and language that has named them. We work with the northern European idea for convenience but nowhere in Australia has four seasons of three months' duration each.
The four events that occur because of the earth's orbit round the Sun as well as the tilt of the Earth's axis are the two solstices and the two equinoces. The tilt of the earth is more important for this than the orbit.
