艋舺國際舞蹈節為民間自發的舞蹈交流平台，為獨立編舞家提供一個創作與展演的舞台，利用萬華在地12個非典型劇場空間，在台北市最早開始發展的艋舺，在三天內展開一場在地生猛、充滿實驗與冒險精神的舞蹈馬拉松，邀請觀眾一同用身體舞步艋舺。
首屆艋舺國際舞蹈節於2019年4月在萬華上演，邀請到國內外30位編舞家，3天內匯集超過60個作品，累積超過3000位民眾聚集萬華參與。2020年艋舺國際舞蹈節，將持續由糖廍曉劇場藝術總監鍾伯淵與衛武營國家藝術文化中心戲劇顧問耿一偉擔任聯合策展人，以「進行式」為題，徵集發展、進行中，具實驗性的舞蹈及肢體劇場作品。每一作品需緊湊的在2小時內拆裝台及演出，觀眾則須跟著節目走遍艋舺。本次將邀請國際策展人、地方場館藝術節承辦人共襄盛舉，發掘具潛力及發展性的作品。同時也將辦理舞蹈論壇、工作坊與Pitch交流活動等。
