France has a MASSIVE military parade on Bastille Day,
The Greeks have a pretty big one on their Independence Day,
Poland, Romania, and a number of other European counties also have pretty big parades with tanks, planes, helicopters, etc. Most other nations in Europe have at least some sort of military parade though they might be smaller affairs.

Apparently CNN provided a, what else, scathing review of the parade -- a full day before it took place.
