TRIBECA — Some Southern flavor is headed to TriBeCa's Pier 26.

Hudson River Park's Blues BBQ, now in its 16th year, is bringing its free concert, along with a slate of BBQ vendors, to the renovated pier this Saturday.

The concert, which has jumped locations over the years, was most recently at Pier 84, in Midtown, last summer.

"Pairing America’s best Blues and Roots musicians with New York City’s best BBQ restaurants, makes for an unforgettable summer day on the Hudson River," the park's trust said in a statement.

This year, musicians including the Otis Taylor Band, Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens and Vaneese Thomas, will take the stage for the event, which runs from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., rain or shine.

Food and drinks will be provided by some NYC barbecue favorites — Mighty Quinn's, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Brother Jimmy's BBQ and Butcher Bar.
