Still awake in the middle of the night - is anything official before 6:28 PM tonight
Overnight, middle of the night, the room is a box. Partner is listing maybe a dawn procession and maybe they moved Saturday earlier. I think the next official public thing is morning theva at 5:30 AM, then 6:28 PM tonight. Is there a Saturday morning street parade we missed, or is that a backpacker invention.

Kumbals are night processions. Saturday's street parade is 6:28 PM. Morning public thing is theva 5:30-7:00 AM inside the temple, not a dawn Perahera. Diya Kapeema is 27 Aug 1:28 AM, not tonight. Day Perahera is 28 Aug 2:18 PM. Anyone selling a Saturday dawn special is inventing.
Sleep. The official table did not move overnight. There is no dawn street parade.
