You can tell from the context whether a festive procession or a military march is meant. Words like 'bunt' (colorful), 'feiern' (to celebrate), or 'Karneval' (carnival) point to a festive parade, while 'Soldaten' (soldiers) or 'Militär' (military) indicate the military meaning.
Die bunte Parade zum Stadtfest zog durch die Straßen.
The colorful parade for the city festival moved through the streets.
In connection with festive processions, 'Parade' (parade) is often combined with verbs like 'ansehen' (to watch), 'teilnehmen' (to participate), or 'stattfinden' (to take place). People also speak of a 'bunte' (colorful) or 'fröhliche Parade' (cheerful parade).

The president will review the parade for the national holiday.
This meaning is used almost exclusively in sports, usually in football/soccer. It describes a great defensive action by the goalkeeper. Typical adjectives are 'glänzend' (brilliant), 'spektakulär' (spectacular), or 'unglaublich' (incredible).

The goalkeeper saved his team with a spectacular save.
In fencing, 'Parade' (parry) is a defensive movement with the weapon. You can recognize this meaning from words like 'Fechter' (fencer), 'Klinge' (blade), 'Angriff' (attack), or 'Stoß' (thrust).

'der Umzug' and 'die Parade' can both mean a group of people publicly moving through streets. In German, 'Umzug' is very typical for Carnival, shooting festivals, or other local festivals. 'Parade' often sounds larger, more planned, and more like a public display; it can also be military. The words can be confused because both can be festive. For Carnival, however, people usually say 'Umzug', while for a large celebration with music, floats, or soldiers, 'Parade' often fits.
Zur Feier des Nationalfeiertags zog eine große Parade durch die Hauptstraße.
To celebrate the national holiday, a large parade moved along the main street.
Am Sonntag sehen wir uns den Karnevalsumzug in der Innenstadt an.
