special-interest groups and clubs
The trouble with "club" is that is has come more and more to refer to nightclubs, whereas I imagine that what is being referred to here is the whole range of Gesangsvereine, Sportvereine etc.You need to be sure that this is clear in your translation.

There are many community events and get-togethers
in Liechtenstein.
Vereinsleben can mean many things in German - non-profit groups are Vereins, and these can range from sport groups to academic groups, beekeeping groups to social groups. Firemen often have a Verein, and organize food and drink events, or the clubs the others listed can also be organized on a Vereinsbasis.

Armorel Young
: that phrase usually means "a lively nightlife" - i.e. plenty of nightclubs and discos - whereas Vereinsleben refers to clubs in a different sense
