Have a fabulous time as Fran entertains at your child’s parties and special events. Fran is extremely engaging, and her performances are creative and interactive. She encourages children to sing, dance and play as an integral part of her music, and opens up the wonderful world of imagination to them all. Children have so much fun as they become the wiggly-squiggly octopus in the song “The Aquarium”; they learn to make rainbows and colors in sign language during “Rainbow Around Me”; and they receive gentle hugs, just for being who they are, in “The Gorilla Song”. Please visit Fran’s website www.franfriedman.com for more information, and to listen to her music.

About the Top Fun and Attractions in the 2025 Boston Parents Paper Family Favorites
Boston Parent’s Family Favorites was born with the idea to give readers in Greater Boston and throughout New England a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Fun and Attractions and all kinds of everyday categories. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.
The voting for Family Favorites Fun and Attractions is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of February with open write-in nominations for reader’s favorite Fun and Attractions taking place. Write-in nominations continue to be open until the middle of April.
As the nomination period for Fun and Attractions in the first round comes to a close in mid April, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Fun and Attractions being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite Fun and Attractions from among those that are listed.
The final winners are posted in July.
We hope you enjoy! And we hope you cast your vote next year!
