You are correct on the dates:

July 1 North end of the battlefield
July 2 Lil Round Top, Culp's Hill
July 3 Pickett's Charge

Both armies, exhausted, held their positions until the night of July 4, when Lee withdrew.

No battles were fought on the 4th at Gettysburg, maybe a few rifle exchages but nothing worth note. Vicksburg fell which Lee had no knowledge of until days later.
Union forces may have been broken had an attack been possible by Lee on the 4th.

It's all speculation now days.

With a belly full of BBQ chicken, I wish all my American friends a happy 4th and thank all of my international friends for their warm wishes.

I thank the US Americans for their great display this evening.
A break in the weather meant that the huge throng ensured that the race village and global village both closed due to over crowding which meant every nearby road was also packed to the brim for enjoyment of the 4th of July celebrations

Wow. NYC must be putting on one helluva show this year if you can see it from all the way over there.
