Sometimes. However, the best places to see the Aurora Borealis (the "northern lights") is in Finland and northern Scandinavia. Northern Canada is good, too, but fewer people live that far north in Canada.
The website spaceweather.com is one of the best sources for photos of and information about the northern lights.

What season is it when the North Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on June 21?
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
Dancing colorful veils of light in northern skies at night and frequently seen in Alaska are called what?
Aurora Borealis, or "northern lights". Similar displays around the south pole are called Aurora Australis.
The magnetic pole that points to the north is the magnet's?
north pole
What is the significance of June 21?
There is no single answer to that. Different parts of the northern hemisphere will have different lengths of daylight on the 21st of June. The further north of the equator you go, the more hours of daylight there will be, with there being about 12 hours at the equator and 24 hours at the north pole. So you need to know exactly where in the northern hemisphere you are before the question can be answered.
Which pole is tilted in the month of June?
There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
What is northern lights poles?
The northern lights are in the northern hemisphere hence nearer the north pole.
Where do the northern lights shine?

Where is the best place to see the northern lights in Alaska?
You must be well north of Fairbanks and clear of any ambient ligting to get the Clear Picture. At least 15 miles outside of Barrow will give you the best visuals.
What is light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earths atmosphere?
Light seen at the North Pole is called the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, while the light seen at the South Pole is called the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights. These phenomena are caused by charged particles from the solar wind colliding with Earth's atmosphere, creating colorful displays of light in the sky.
What light seen at the north pole and south pole when solar wind collides with earth atmosphere?
The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole. The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole. For more information on Auroras, see the related link included.
