River City represents Mississippi River communities of the past. It has a distinct New Orleans feel to the area, with themed music and architecture. It usually plays Jazz or Zydeco music.
According to one of the founder's sons, Jack Krantz was a fan of New Orleans style jazz. I suppose since Iowa also had Mississippi river cities this makes the connection.

Trivia
I wondered a-boat that dock...
The River City Spectators has a distinct dock look to it, including posts with a nautical rope fence around the water edge. This is because the location used to be a functional dock for a riverboat that sailed around the water.
No smoking... Except for this...
Next to the River City Spectators is a fenced off barbecue pit. They do not cook on it, but they will burn wood in it to give the area a distinct smell of a barbecue. (Disney parks do a similar trick with scents, though they use chemical smells.)
