The official dates for the Kandy Esala Perahera are usually finalized by the temple authorities closer to the event based on the lunar calendar. However, it will fall in the month of August. Keep checking the official Sri Dalada Maligawa website.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.

Unofficial Temple Guide ScamVerified
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
