Occupy Philadelphia surprised the City of Brotherly Love with a midnight march throughout the city, after the fireworks display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. About 85 Occupiers marched from the Logan Square Fountain (which was dry) along Arch Street to Twelfth, and east on Market.

There were a couple of minor confrontations with police, but overall the occupiers felt the police "were a lot better than the New York City cops."
