Chassepierre (French pronunciation: [ʃaspjɛʁ]; Gaumais: Tchespire) is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Florenville, located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

The festival currently gathers some 50 professional performance companies with different artists such as actors, musicians, dancers, and acrobats from all over the world.

In 1973, Alain Schmitz, organiser of social programmes in Florenville, became artistic director of the festival.

A non-profit organisation, La Fête des Artistes de Chassepierre, was then founded to manage the budgets of the festival that were becoming more important.

In 2016, the 43rd edition of the festival took place, gathering more than 50 performance companies from Belgium, but also from The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Austria and Great Britain.
